Another classroom movie with a theme and content between "Dangerous Minds (1995)", "That's What I Am (2011)" and "Entre les murs (2008)", the former The two represent the most common such topics, focusing on special students, school violence, crimes, or the key role that the teacher plays in the lives of students. The method used is to deal with the emotional conflicts of people's hearts directly, the latter It is a form of record, in the form of seeing the small and knowing the work, abandoning part of the way of thinking that is conducive to the audience's regular movie watching, and discussing the social level.

The film does not go out of the big frame. It is not uncommon for teachers and students to help each other out of the psychological gloom. Compared with the two types of appeals, the director has adopted a traditional approach, although the teacher The background issues of Algerian immigrants and the interludes of interaction with female teachers, in general, have a clear main line, and there are no purposeless bridges. For example, Mr. Raza has made Arab students speak French several times, interacting with male teachers and other small details, which have also increased the three-dimensional sense of the characters. Generally speaking, it is still a relatively plump feature film, which is slightly lacking in strength. Fortunately, the ending is very good.

The biggest highlight of the film is the concise photography, scenery, neutral colors, the effect of the interaction between the medium-speed rhythm and Quebec, Canada under the winter snow. Compared with the Nordic audiovisual language that has always been loved, this kind of will be more conducive to the advancement of the plot.

    Compared with the French film in 2008, the conflicts are more intense, the characters are more typical, and it is more like a fairy tale (fable?). Fortunately, the handling is soft and plain, which makes me dream of returning to the oilfield school in an instant.
